The Major League Baseball offseason has gained a ton of attention, likely due to the talent level of the free agents who have changed teams.
With players like Juan Soto, Corbin Burnes and Blake Snell signing with new clubs, it makes sense that fans have been glued to the action.
Another big announcement will be made when the 2025 class for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame is revealed.
Former New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia posted a hopeful message before the announcement was made.
“Feels like Christmas Eve,” Sabathia wrote on X.

Sabathia is hopeful to get voted into the Hall of Fame in his first year on the ballot.
The basic voting rules include a player needing 75 percent to get elected and at least 5 percent to remain on the ballot. Voters can select up to 10 players, and a player can remain on the ballot for 10 years.
Sabathia had a 19-season career that began in 2001 with the Cleveland franchise and ended in 2019 with the Yankees.
Although Sabathia is known for his time with the Yankees, his only Cy Young Award came with Cleveland in 2007.
That season, Sabathia started 34 games and was 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 241.0 innings pitched.
For his career, he was 251-161 with a 3.74 ERA and 3,093 strikeouts in 561 games, all but one of which was a start.
The current numbers suggest that Sabathia will get into the Hall in his first year of eligibility, but it will be interesting to see how things turn out on Tuesday night.
